RUNAWAY ACCIDENT. Matthias
Herashe, the father of all the Bohemi-
ans, had II runaway south of Hurricane
last week. He was picked up and
carried to Kilby's house, where he lay
unconscious for twenty-four hours, suf-
fering from conclusion of the brain.
DR.. Strong attends him. Matthias has
a broken rib and other severe bruises,
but it is thought will be around in time
tins winter to agitate the wood market
by raising the price on such stormy
days as other wood dealers can't get

drop out of the world and hope he

PROVIDENCE TOWNSHIP. Iowa,

September 20, 1887
&. II. BRAINARD: Dear Sir:-Your
favor, asking my experience in the diff
ferent methods of cooking feed for stock
is at hand, and will say: The question
of cooking feed need not be mentioned,
as all progressive stock and hog grow
ers have long ago satisfied themselves
that from one-.hird to one-half the feed is
saved by cooking. The only question
has been, THE CHEAPEST METHOD" Z
For years have cooked feed by differ
ent arrangements, within the last four
years have tested nearly every steamer
of any merit that has been before the
public in all northern and some of the
southern states The trouble has been
with them, their frailty and expense
attending their use, very few lasting
more than one or two years. Some
are made cone shape inside and of light
material which soon burns out at the
top where the most intense heat is CON
centrated.
For the last six months | have been
using one of your Champion Steamers
on my farm and it is the "CHAMPIoN"
of all steam generators | have ever seen.
owing to the peculiar kettle shaped
fire pot, the intense returned and CON
centrated Mt the bottom and held there
where the heat is needed The fire pot
being of heavy cast iron will last just as
long as kettle set in IN arch. 1t is
the most economical implement | ever
had on my farm.
For washing purposes it is worth its
cost every year savinp time labor and
clothes; requires no rubbing and one
half bushel of soft coal is sufficient for
the largest of family washing One
bushel will run it a day. 1t is so strong
that it is impossible to injure it by any
pressure of steam it can generate, and
so simple that a child can run it. Wish
ing you abundant success j remain
Yours truly,

From the day the liquor traffic was
allowed to come into this country,
from the despotisms Of Europe, it has
existed as bitter, blightng, damning
curse on everything decent, virtuous
and pure. It's history proves il the
enemy of law, order, morality, Christ
ianity and civilization. The American
dramshop is the cause of more than six
seventies of the pauperism and four
tifths of the crime of the Nation. 1t is
the hotbed where outlaws terminate;
the cradle where vice is rocked. Liquor
drinking makes the sums of great cities
and is responsible for the horrible con-
ditlon of mankind in the slums.-JoHN

DON'T SIGN IT YET.-A petition is
being circulated to influence the gov

one of the Waterloo crooks lately sent
to Waupun from here. This is rushing
matters. Mr. Robinson may be very
worthy man, but it would look better to
let him try prison fare for at least few
weeks. Perhaps that same fare would
destroy his appetite for other peoples
hams and chickens. It's worth trying.
Anyway these short pleasure trips to

The Church Congress held last month
at Wolverhampton, England, is said 0
be one of the most successful gather
lngs Of the kind ever held. 1t certain
ly was unique in the prominence given
to woman's work Two women's meet
ings were held, at one of which Mrs.
MacLagan, wife of the Bishop of Itch
field, presided, and the wife of the Bish-
OPP of Snuthwell. was one of the chief
speakers. An English exchange re-
marks: "Who shall say it is not an
age Of progress when bishop, having
led his wife onto the platform, has to
take back seat, while the lady makes
a long speech?" Miss Matson. In
spector of the Local Government Board
spoke on social purity, making strong
and telling protest against the low
standard of morality tolerated among
men, especially men Of position and
wealth. Two meetings for working
women and girls were also held during
the Congress, in which wholesome adj
vice was given concerning cleanliness,
chastity, industry aud home duties
generally. Strong emphasis was laid
on the point that married women
should be able to stay at home aud be
'home- makers while their husbands
earned the support of the family. With
drink out of the way this would be pos
sible in large number of families
where it is not so to-day. Union Sig

prize. There were $50 numbers and

was number SO, held by Mrs. Anna

Foreign Students in Edinburgh.

The Scottish universities are certain
ly not so called because they are con-
fined to Scottish students. In the med
ical classes at Edinburgh this year near
ly as many English as Scotch students
have enrolled, the respective members
being 71s and 769. There are so ''med-
icals' from India, including Thakoor,
of Gondal, a reigning Indian chief, 81
from Ireland, 265 from the various
British colonies, and others from al
most every country in the world. Only
40 per cent of the medical students
are Scottish. The total of matriculated
students is $685., an increase of some
1900 in ten years, while in twenty
years the numbers have considerably
more than doubled. 1t is not general
ly known that the lord rectorship was
originally instituted as protection to
foreign students. In the oldest Scot
fish universities the students are divid-
ed for electoral purposes into what are
called nations" not by majority of
votes. This does not help in Edinburgh,
where the rectorship is of very recent
origin.-St. James Gazette.

Care Of the Finger-Nai's.

To keep the finger-nails in good Or
der requires considerable care and at
tention, and perhaps no addition to the
modern toilet is more useful for its
purpose than the dainty manicure sets
in their pretty boxes. The plain I'M
pretending one which one may pur-
chase for dollar will do it's work quite
as well as the more expensive and
elaborate sets. Before using these ar
ticles the hands should be washed in
tepid water with a fine glycerinated
soap, and before removing the latter
rubbed with a tablespoonful Of fine In
dian meal or oatmeal, then rinsed in
tepid water, and after this rubbed with
a little glycerine in soft water. The
hands should be rubbed together until
the glycerine and water has nearly
evaporated, then they should be dried
completely and the nails cut and
cleansed with the nail scissors and
cleaner while they are still soft from
the action of the tepid water. Next
push down the skin which is apt to
grow over the nails, and proceed to
polish them. For this purpose take
your chamois polisher. put pinch of
the nail powder ON its face, and rub
each nail till it acquires a fine polish
and a rosy color Chicago Times.
